Please provide info about how you are connected to the DHCP server with the Ethernet cards not succeding with getting an IP address.

General problems with DHCP may include the following:

1. Failure to configure a DHCP relay agent if the client is not directly connected to a DHCP server

2. No backward route in the routing table from the DHCP server to the subnet where the DHCP request came from.

3. Failure to configure excluded addresses in the DHCP server for addresses that are already assigned manually to default gateways or other hosts.

The DHCP server of course tries to assign an IP address from your range defined in the "network" command under the "dhcp-config" prompt, generally the first usable one in the specified subnet. If this IP address is already assigned manually on the subnet, ensure that this address is excluded from the DHCP pool with the "ip dhcp excluded-address" global config command.

Please explain what you are trying to do . Are you thinking the actual interfaces on the router are going to pull an address ??? I only see one dhcp pool of 7 addresses defined . Probably devices on E0/1 are working correct ?

Glen, I was thinking about the same thing. The IP address he wants aren't being generated by the router's DHCP. If you noticed E0/2, the subnet is not on the pool therefore I assume it was generated by a separated DHCP server.
